  • Why Japanese claimed RyuKyu Island(Okinawa) belong to them?

    Basically "Ryukyu" Islands is the so called "Okinawa" by the Japanese today. It was once Ryukyu Kingdom, and It seek for protection from Empire of China to defeat Japanese islanders for a long time long before the 1600s, Because they fear for the Japanese islanders might invade them somehow. During the Japanese invasions between 1600s-1900s, The island was never officially occupied and claimed by Japan. Somehow, After WWII Ryukyu was "Returned" to Japan by the U.S without authority... So I guess here is a big question mark. What makes the Japanese think They own the island today? Did they officially sign any agreement with the Emperor of Ryukyu kingdom back then? Why Japan has to think they are the victims and denying all the War crime they committed in WWII? why Japan thinks they deserve everything?

    Oh and funny thing, I posted this question on Yahoo was told by a Japanese that I shouldn't question about Japan, I'm making big deal about it... Oh well, probably Japanese are trained not to be questioning about their government, as you can see they are a very cold nation, but I ain't Japanese, I can question about who I want as mush as I wish! This is the whole point of being in a liberal society and NOT in Japan!

  • Is French Media attacking China and Chinese on purpose?

    It is starting to become strange no? I don't know if anyone who reads french news everyday has paid attention to this, but French media seem to be attacking Chinese on a daily basis recently. The French News are reporting about China and Chinese related news that are very uninteresting and very unimportant to french people sometimes, those news are not even covered by the other countries for example BBC or CNN are not even finding the news worth reporting!!

    So you search on google it only come up on french websites!! Is it Political strategy? How true are these news??? Is the French government using the media to brainwash the french people? Honestly something the news are as small as like a chinese 14 year old child made stupid mistake on holiday in Egypt, it caused French people pointing fingers to this child on internet so cruelly, or something so boring that about chinese are producing milk in China that cause problem.... How are they related to france exactly?!!? I mean normal people want to read about their country's news or International big events, Who gives a F**K about the milk in China? As long as we are not the ones who are drinking the milk. Does the news about chinese make French feel good about themselves so they can be more arrogant?

  • Why Indian are so Jealous of Chinese?

    Apart from the myth of border issue, which doesn't seem to bother anyone but Indian themselves, And understandably Indian are poor and they are jealous of wealthy Chinese. What else? I never quite understood when someone say there is problem between the Indian and the Chinese, I can't see why Indian should be so afraid, China has never shown interest on their poor land....And if you want to speak about Tibet, well Let me remind you only 6% of Indian are the faithful Buddhist, the rest aren't Buddhist.. So really it is not their best interest to assist Dalai Lama. So why all the chaos?

  • Is the U.S provoking a war between N. and S. Korea?

    N.Korea is behaving very irrationally wanting to start a war with America and S.Korea. We all know this day will come, because the korean war has never officially ended. However, The U.S is even claiming that China is behind this, but let's think about it, China's economy is blossoming at the moment, Is it really their best interest to go to war and mess up everything so they have to start over again?

    Is the U.S very urge to start a WAR in Asia? Because of the U.S economy is currently in crisis, Wouldn't they benefit from invading China or the entire Asia?

    If N.korea do start a War with the U.S and South Korea, What is the chance to begin a WWIII? Would it eventually involve China and Japan, as well as Russia and other small Asian countries? and this feels like is going to be the U.S's advantage again..... Or even benefit Europe....

  • British University graduates are equal to cheap Made-in-China products?!?

    Are we the cheap labors in the West?

    Raising tuition fee in the UK is one way of eliminating the competitors, however it doesn't help creating a competitive society. It only pisses off the parents who didn't see it coming and haven't been saving up all these years. To be able to create a competitive society like the U.S, You need to actually create competitions, and for the real competitions, usually the rewards are outstanding and charming!

    Many British university graduates are self evaluating a lot these days, to the level of self pitying. As the job market gets tougher, they get more time sitting home doing self-evaluations: Is there something wrong with my degree? Or is there something wrong with me? How much does my British university degree worth today? Does it shine in a job interview? Why the hell did I study it for?

    The truth is, British universities are less competitive in general, comparing to Universities in the United states, China, Japan. Getting a British university degree is kinda easy, Not that you don't have to study, Everybody goes to classes and take exams etc like normal, but somehow you don't get what you needed and expected when you leave Uni. Apart from Oxford and Cambridge of course, the rest of universities are opening doors to International students for business, advertise themselves like some kind of circus.

    Imagine you are a student from the far east, who is about to choose their destination to study aboard for the next 3 years, and got accepted to the top 100 british universities, wouldn't you wonder if getting a honner degree in the UK is going to make a positive effect to your life and future career options? Or Would you end up just throwing away your parents savings?

    What makes British university degrees outstanding or NOT? They shouldn't be like British high street clothing that are famous for their low quality and disposable! Perhaps you can almost say, British University graduates are equal to cheap Made-in-China products?!

  • Media propaganda in the West? (U.S and Europe)?

    Lately, You turn on the TV news channel, open Google news, all you see is your country trashing the other countries who are doing better than you! Doesn't even matter if they are true, It is the amount of the news and the actual context are becoming more and more aggressive, more and more subjective, more like attacks rather than objective views!

    Take the U.S and France for example, US media was focusing 100% on the middle east telling the Americans how wrong the Arabians were for years, that given the U.S government a foundation and reason to start a War in middleeast, so when they actually did the Americans will stand by their government! and today they are bitching about the chinese!

    If the chinese communist is really controlling their media, our governments are not doing any different!! Aren't you just sick of hearing more about China? I mean, the whole point of getting news about Foreign countries is so that we can learn about the rest of the world, so we can think of a way to do better, but what we should be focusing is still our economy, our country and our people! Trashing others is only going to make your people angry and pissed about the Far east is doing better than the west, not turning things around...

  • America is not the free world, European countries are! Do you agree?

    Why do the Yankees, the cowboys and the barbies keep saying their country is the one and only free world in the entire universe? When the United States has so much problems politically and financially. Americans are either farming in the southern states never seen what the rest of the world look like, tough competitive education systems that make damn sure no American goes to college unless they've got high SAT scores and $100,000 tuition fee saving. The country doesn't cover anything, sure not the medical benefits, and it has one of the world's highest criminal rate.

    Which part of this is considered as "free" for its citizens? I myself free so much more freedom in Europe and even in some Asian countries.

  • Obama is the real "Gossip girl" ?

    So there is a rumour suggesting the U.S government has set foot in South Korea, Japan and Australia building its very own "CIA" office to spying on the surrounding countries..... I guess this could be true, it sounds like what the American government would do. But isn't it a little too.... "Gossip girl" or "big brother"? I find it funny that those three countries would agree to lease their land for spyinh business. Why such curiosity obama?

  • Looks like japan is going to be ready to kneel before Chinese anytime soon?

    Looks like japan is going to give up any time soon? Japanese economy can not handle the lost of Chinese consumers, japanese vehicle sale dropped nearly 50% overnight since Japan's island dispute started. China as the largest market is banning Japanese goods, which has effectively bringing down japan's economy. Rumour is that the japanese is finally tasting its own poison and ready to settle, but not yet giving up.... I guess it's about time.

  • Next one China should ban, Made in France?

    So read recent news about the "foie gras farmers" french are openly racist against chinese consumers in paris.. I think it is very typical "french"! Arrogant and stupid! Just have a count the amount of french luxury and cosmetics goods are sold to chinese consumers each year, few billion €!! It is huge! Are the french really careless about this major financial contribution? Look at japan's islnd dispute with Chinese, angered 1.3 billions chinese consumers, overnight Japanese vehicle sale dropped nearly 50% in a month, japanese goods have always been relying on China the largest vehicle market in the world! It is hurting Japan's economy. I would imagine the cost for french economy would be huge when every 100,000 chinese women discarding the thought of purchasing a Louis Vuitton bag...
